Data Access

This page describes how to download MaNGA files from the SDSS Science Archive Server (SAS).

For a guide to what each of these files are, see the Data Model pages
For a guide on how to open the DRP output files and extract the data, see the How Do I Look At My Data tutorial.

You can browse the reduced data at https://data.sdss.org/sas/dr13/manga/spectro/redux/v1_5_4/ to download files individually through a web browser, or automate downloads via the rsync command

rsync -avz rsync:[PATH + FILENAME] LOCAL_PATH

For example, download the data cube of 7443-12703 with logarithmic wavelength spacing (LOG) to your current directory:

rsync -avz rsync://data.sdss.org/dr13/manga/spectro/redux/v1_5_4/7443/stack/manga-7443-12703-LOGCUBE.fits.gz .

DRP 3D Output Files

Description of the 3D final DRP output Files
Final reduced data are stored on a per-galaxy basis in the ‘stack’ subdirectory for each plate.
Path:

https://data.sdss.org/sas/dr13/manga/spectro/redux/v1_5_4/[PLATE]/stack/

RSS files:

manga-[PLATE]-[IFUDESIGN]-LOGRSS.fits.gz

Example 1) Transfer all plates in DR13 to the current working directory, but include only the /stack subdirectories containing the manga*LOGCUBE.fits.gz files:

rsync -aLrvz --include "*/" --include "manga*LOGCUBE.fits.gz" --exclude "*" rsync://data.sdss.org/dr13/manga/spectro/redux/v1_5_4/ ./
